The Smashing Pumpkins Announce Adore Reissue, Featuring Three Discs of Unreleased Music

Billy Corgan: "Fresh mixes have been commissioned, shedding new light on not only the songs' hidden foundations, but their futuristic nature as well."

Smashing Pumpkins have announced a deluxe edition reissue of their 1998 album Adore. As confirmed at their website, The Panopticon, the six-disc box set will feature the original album in stereo (remastered by Bob Ludwig), the album on mono on CD for the first time, three discs of unreleased material, and a live DVD from Smashing Pumpkins' 1998 tour in which each night's proceeds went to local charities. According to the band, "a summer release is expected."

Of the reissue, Billy Corgan wrote:

One thing that might excite fans of the album is that we were able to go back and locate elements from the original sessions that were stored digitally, but never used; such as some of the brilliant work done by [producer] Bon Harris. In that fresh mixes have been commissioned, shedding new light on not only the songs' hidden foundations, but their futuristic nature as well.

The full tracklist has yet to be revealed; check out the original tracklist below.
